Model Sites
As discussed in the previous section, an application forms the highest level of the
Planning Server hierarchy. Model sites represent the next level in the hierarchy.
Model sites are used to organize the application and data. Each application has one
parent model site, also known as the root site, which contains predefined dimensions
and global assumption models. All other model sites in the application are referred to
as model subsites, which form the third level in the hierarchy.
Model subsites represent the business structure of a company. They can be based
on a company??™s reporting structure, financial processes, operational processes, and
so on. For example, a company may create subsites that are based on divisions, on
business units, or on security access restrictions that require separation of processes
or functions. Model subsites inherit some of the shared metadata that is associated
with the parent model site. This includes models, dimensions, and dimension
members. Additionally, model subsites might contain models, dimensions, or
dimension members that are unique to that model subsite.
